What's liquid lipstick, anyway? I guess it was developed for those who want the shiny, emollient finish of lipgloss with the color payoff of lipstick, and those who suffer from dry lips like me. There are people who enjoy the convenience of applying lipstick with a wand, and also there are those who don't like traditional twist- up lipstick just because they always seem to break the product.

But you might go and ask: "Why are you discussing liquid lipstick? The title said Shimmer Lip gloss?" Because these are not lip glosses-not at all. They're too pigmented for a lipgloss. Now that ain't a bad thing because it's nice to know that there's one affordable liquid lipstick variant out there!

Unfortunately, there's no ingredients list to be found on the packaging.

The doe foot applicator is very sturdy, and shape's perfect enough to fit a variety of lip contours.

There are no shade numbers or names to be found on the packaging, but I'd have to check again because I might've missed them.

These liquid lipsticks have a creamy, buttery consistency and ultra smooth texture. It's very surprising to know that despite the affordability, they're pigmented! One swipe to get a decent color payoff, and two swipes for maximum coverage. They eventually dry up to a semi- matte finish after an hour. They have this bubblegum scent, which I am not a fan of-if you like anything bubblegum-y and fruity, you'll like this!

LAVISH HOUSE OF BEAUTY SHIMMER LIPGLOSS IN ACTION

The pink one is a cool midtone pink shade with a slight lilac undertone-reminds me of M.A.C's Petals and Peacocks, but without the neon brightness.

This shade brightens up any complexion instantly, not to mention it looks very young, fresh, and dainty. Great for daytime wear especially at school, but can be a tad bit informal for corporate wear.

The coral one is a salmon coral shade. Looks great on any skin tone too!

This shade brings back that fun, summery vibe to your entire look. The color is prettifying too!

Staying power is great: Practically lasts the whole day with very minimal fading and it leaves a hint of stain on your lips for that just bitten effect. The formula doesn't dry out my lips nor causes it to flake and crack. I'd also like to point out that the shades are not at all cheap- looking, albeit quite limited because almost everything is either pink- toned or coral- toned. Well if you're a fan of such shades, that won't be a problem, right? If compared to pricier liquid lipsticks, this would become lipgloss haha! What I'm saying is, it's not as pigmented as the pricey ones, but for it's price? Not bad, not bad.

I like the way these lipsticks perform, so I'm definitely recommending it to anyone who's on a budget!
